Fran's is an old school 'dive' (in every respect) that transports you back into 1964 when they first opened up. Their chicken is old school, no frills, lightly seasoned fried chicken....hard to beat. Fries were frozen variety and cole slaw was dry. Their sign says they don't pressure cook, brine, marinate, etc. or use egg, MSG, etc in their batter. They have 3 two seater tables and maybe 3 seats at the counter...that is it!

It's expensive and not the typical fried chicken place, but Michelle Bernsteins at the Omphoy in Palm Beach has very good fried chicken. The sides of Mac and cheese, Cole slaw and biscuits and gravy it comes with are also excellent.

Just got an email from the Omphoy today. Michelle Bernsteins offering an all you can eat fried chicken on Wednesdays for $35 a person. Not sure how great of a deal it is since her standard fried chicken dish is around $25 and comes with plenty of food. However I've pasted the details below:

This is another one that's south of the county line but I would be remiss not to mention Betty's Soul Food in a thread about fried chicken. If you ever have reason to be in Fort Lauderdale this is definitely the place. Don't let the neighborhood intimidate you, I have always been made to feel very welcome at Betty's.
